Pretty consistent with my thinking (also hope I'm wrong)
But not that wrong. I picked all 3 ckb fights wrong. Izzy looked good though
As usual the pre fight chat form both sides is forgotten. It really does seem to mean more to some fans. It’s why I don’t follow it.
KKF caught Erceg. Hopefully he gets a title shot now
So happy for Hooker. My favourite NZ sportsman. He was given almost no chance. Forced the fight to go in the direction he wanted.. great fight.

Adesanya was humble as he has been after every loss. Something someone Strickland could learn from
He was looking good then a punch set up a choke, small margins in mma. There’s so many ways to lose
The chat really is bullshit though. I don’t understand why so many keep falling for it. Seeing Jones and Adesanya giggle and play fight each other when they finally met face to face… Bisping and Rockhold goofing around with each other. Most super serious chat evaporates after selling a fight is over

Totally agree. Izzy was actually looking good. He was leading the strikes and I thought DDP was starting to look pretty tired. It did feel like we were gonna get a result, I just wasn't expecting that. Small margins alright and then bam fight over.
Decent card overall and great to see Kai and Dan get the results.

Izzy might learn a bit more humility after that ( I didn’t see it, just caught the headlines on stuff )
His antics make him a very hard guy to like and support at times.
Sounds like a rematch in SA might be on the cards
He has plenty of humility and has always had. But you wont pick this up from just following media headlines.....

I saw footage of them interacting after the fight and yeah, he seemed pretty humble, definitely not always the case though !
I suppose he did his part to promote the fight when he essentially crashed DDPs victory party with all that cringy “N word” stuff a year or so back.
Always interesting hearing how many combat sport athletes become mates when everything is over and they’re long retired.

That was awful, also along with his interview where he claimed Aussies were just racist for not cheering him on against Strickland. The bloke made his own dumb headlines as far as I'm concerned.
My brother reckons some fighters now have writers to hype fights due to that integration with WWE, thought that was BS but Izzy's antics seem so unnatural that..well may he has some really dumb writers.

That’s just it. Every time I feel I should cheer him as a “kiwi” I always think of stuff like this.
……but then again combat sports need a villain, perhaps its just him being good at that ?

@MN5 When I started getting into UFC I watched all of MacGregors fights and then all of Izzys, was a huge fan until I saw the stuff outside of the fight. Bloke seems to have a real identity crisis kiwi/nigerian/chinese and that dumbass N-word BS trying to act like some US gangbanger? Seems to think that because he is black then that is his culture? Retarded and probably offensive as fuck to actual Nigerians
Almost too dumb to be real so yeah maybe a USA based writer who doesn't actually know any black people.
-
Always impressed at how insightful and intelligent the fighters are
Victors right history but I thought Izzy blew that rather than DDP winning it
DDP was gassed when Izzy was striking from the outside but when Izzy had DDP on the ropes he closed the gap rather than reinforce his successes
-
And I was way off my predictions

CKB might have another UFC fighter tomorrow
Cam Rowston is fighting on the Contender series. It's on espn, it looks like his fight should be ~11:30am nzt
As you can see from the video above he has a height advantage. He is a huge underdog though. People seem to really rate his opponent Finney who was on the 2023 contender series
